Love, Honor and Obey is a 1920 American silent drama film. Directed by Leander de Cordova, the film stars Wilda Bennett, Claire Whitney, and Henry Harmon. It was released on September 6, 1920. It is a screen adaptation by Eugene Walter of C.N. Buck's novel The Tyranny of Weakness.
Plot The film tells the story of Conscience Williams, a young New England woman who, at her father's urging, agrees to marry a wealthy local church deacon despite being in love with a New York novelist. The novelist's liberal views have already drawn scandal in their Puritanical community, and when he is named as co-respondent in a high-profile divorce case, Conscience severs ties with him entirely. His involvement, however, is in name only. Upon discovering she has been deceived and that the man she loves is innocent, she bolts the door of her bridal chamber against her new husband, setting in motion a dramatic conflict centered on the obligations of marriage vows made under false pretenses.
